Msoura Stone Circle, Archaeological site near Chouahed, Morocco
The Msoura Stone Circle features 167 monoliths arranged in an elliptical formation, with stones reaching heights between 0.5 and 5.5 meters.
Archaeological excavations at the site began in 1935 by César Luis de Montalban, though his work remained unpublished due to the Spanish Civil War.
Local traditions connect the stone circle to ancient myths, including beliefs about it being the burial place of a legendary Mauretanian king.
The stone circle measures 59.29 meters on its major axis and contains a central tumulus with a diameter of 48 meters and height of 6 meters.
Three western monoliths stand notably taller than the rest of the circle, with the largest stone, El Uted, measuring approximately 5.5 meters in height.
